Summary
edit| Description |
עברית: מגדל דוד הוא הכינוי שניתן למצודה אשר הגנה במשך אלפי שנים על העיר ירושלים. למרות שמה של המצודה, אין קשר בינה לבין דוד המלך, ושמה זה ניתן לה אלפי שנים אחרי קיומו המשוער.
המצודה שוכנת במקום הגבוה ביותר בעיר העתיקה, מעל נקודת ההשקה של גיא בן הנם ונחל צולב. נקודה אסטרטגית זו היוותה עילה להקים ביצור במקום, במטרה להגן על העיר ממערב. במהלך ההיסטוריה היה למצודה חלק מרכזי בהגנת העיר, והיא שימשה מרכז שלטוני וצבאי.
English: The Tower of David, also known as the Jerusalem Citadel, is an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate entrance to western edge of the Old City of Jerusalem.
The citadel that stands today dates to the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. It was built on the site of a series of earlier ancient fortifications of the Hasmonean, Herodian-era, Byzantine and Early Muslim periods, after being destroyed repeatedly during the last decades of Crusader presence in the Holy Land by Ayyubid and Mamluk rulers. It contains important archaeological finds dating back over 2,000 years including a quarry dated to the First Temple period, and is a popular venue for benefit events, craft shows, concerts, and sound-and-light performances.
